Lions Fund Tomaree Hospital Storage Facility

Lions and Hospital Staff in newly updated hospital storage facility

Not long ago, the staff at the Tomaree Community Hospital had to struggle with a small and cluttered storeroom, which often made it challenging to keep track of what supplies they had. But thanks to the Lions Club of Soldiers Point they now have a newly upgraded storage and retrieval facility to keep their supplies organised.

Club President James Enraght-Moony and Club Director Brad Rostron toured the new facility with Health Service Manager/Director of Nursing Hari Nair and Nurse Unit Manager Adrienne Cook.

“This upgrade will make a meaningful difference, enabling our team to manage and maintain our stores and essential supplies more effectively. Your contribution plays a vital role in enhancing our operational efficiency and supporting the care we provide to our community.” said Hari Nair.

The funds for the upgraded facility were made possible through a grant from the Australian Lions Foundation, which was organised by the Soldiers Point Lions Club, in partnership with the Tomaree Community Hospital Auxiliary.

Located in Nelson Bay, New South Wales, the Tomaree Community Hospital serves the Port Stephens area, offering emergency and outpatient services, as well as aged care and specialised medical support.

This isn’t the only project the Lions Club of Soldiers Point has taken on to support the hospital. In August this year, they held a Black and White Night Charity Dinner to raise funds to purchase shower trolleys for non-ambulatory patients.

It’s this kind of public outreach and service that make Lions an integral part of the larger community.
